ASHRAE data center special report

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) hosted its annual conference in Dallas last month. This special report contains ASHRAE's latest data center information.

In Dallas, liquid cooling continued to be a conversation topic, as were new studies on a new airflow measurement, air leakage, and raised floor vs. overhead cooling in high-density data centers. Check out the stories to find out what went down at ASHRAE Dallas.

APC 'capture index' measures airflow in the data center Jim VanGilder, a principal engineer with American Power Conversion Corp.'s (APC) data center cooling simulation group, recently gave a presentation at the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers' (ASHRAE) annual conference in Dallas regarding a new metric to measure airflow efficiency. We caught up with VanGilder to ask him what it's all about.

Liquid cooling is your friend, ASHRAE speakers say Liquid cooling is nothing new to ASHRAE; its Technical Committee 9.9 published a book last month on the subject. In a recent interview about the liquid cooling book, committee member Don Beaty said that water is 3,500 times more effective at cooling than air.
